Every organisation exists twice. Once in its structures, processes, reporting lines, strategies, and performance. Once in the invisible meanings through which thousands of independent people interpret those structures every day.
The Sub-Surface Warfare of Corporate Narrative explores the invisible organisation beneath the visible one, and the conditions through which organisational coherence emerges, weakens, and can be shaped.
Ideas, interpretation, and stories shape decisions more powerfully than structures or systems.
This book reveals how narratives operate beneath the surface to influence strategy, judgement, behaviour, coherence, and sustained performance.
It introduces a new lens for understanding organisations … and offers a practical philosophy for leaders who want to create meaningful coherence and sustained performance.
THE INVISIBLE ORGANISATION Why what cannot be seen often drives what cannot be explained.

NARRATIVE AS STRATEGY Why narratives are not communication tools − they are strategic forces.
LEADERSHIP BENEATH THE SURFACE The deeper work leaders must do to shape what truly matters..
SHAPING WHAT OPERATES BENEATH A new philosophy and framework for meaningful change.
